Beating Elden Ring's DLC with ONLY Martial Arts
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 июн 2024
- Decided to do a challenge run using only the Martial Arts moveset from the DLC! I had viewers drop the weapons in Limgrave so I could also use them on the basegame, which was honestly quite strong. The new deflecting physick in the DLC might be my favorite item as well :D

Wait who said you could post my stats here
very interesting stats. i would be really curious to compare these to how he performs in the dlc in a year
wrr
Where I got those
@@RedDragonFlayertriple it
Deflect and guard counter half the attacks, hyperarmor through the other half with Palm Blast. Absolute chad.
Wait, you can guard counter with the martial arts weapons?
@@avalokiteshvara113 you can guard counter with every weapon. And the DLC made it easier by getting you a deflect (timed guard) that lets you guard without taking damage.
@@AnActualDinosaur are you talking about the tear for the flask, or did i miss something?
@@kiwiiruna4800 pretty sure the dude thought deflecting was a normal function in the game and didn't know you can only deflect stuff if you drink a flask
You can always guard counter, you just take the guard damage in the stats page @@flappyflap2693
I beat most of the DLC with that weapon. It was so fun. Smacking Messmer around with my fists was an experience I didnt know I needed. I abandoned them for the last boss though....
Yeah, that boss will fuck you up
Honestly, same.
that boss is when you let go of your morals and bring out the biggest cheese wheel you have.
That boss, first boss I'm using a bleed build on in a long time
@@EspyMellyI think you meant to speak for yourself but mispelled "I" as "you"
the combination of these weapons and the guard counter tear make for such a cool style of fighting to watch, it almost looks like a different game and probably feels like it
Gonna make a character that looks like the rock and name him Dryleaf Dwayne after this
i’m stealing this btw
@@Slothhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh good, we need all the Dryleaf Dwaynes we can get
@@zachj19991FAMILY.
The rock is legally not allowed to lose, so u better make it a no death run!
It's crazy to see the difficulty between the hardest base game bosses vs the average dlc boss
Was doing some co op and got summoned to base game after finishing the dlc. I was trying to pop a heal for the group and ate shit. I was like "fuck I'm dead," but then my character got up with plenty of health.
Malenia was the peak difficulty in base game. Rellana, 2nd dlc boss overtakes her 😂
Well, it depends on your build and experience. I played without summons for the first time so they were all pretty much the same to me. Because I had to learn the base game fights too, I just spammed Rock Sling while my Mimic tanked last year. People forget how much they have practiced the base game fights, that's why they feel easy. But if you take Scadu levels seriously, then the DLC is not harder. It is funnier though. And people have already found multiple ways to break it, perfumes and Greatshield pokes being 2. And none of the new bosses are harder than Malenia. Except maybe Radahn.
@@fishnutz5196 Malenia took me 6 hours and I was even lucky with RNG, she is basically as hard as Radahn the first time you fight her. But people forget how hard she used to feel, because of all the practice. Rellana was a joke in comparison, not even 10 tries. And the same goes for most of the others. The only real tests are Messmer, Bayle and Radahn. Unless you play with 0 Scadu levels. Or maybe my build was just too much of an easymode, Brass Shield and Serpent Hunter carried me through everything. I'm glad I didn't try a Greatshield because that would have made it too easy.
It's because we have had 2 years to learn the base game movesets. The dlc has only been out of a couple weeks
I like how instead of making a fancy new riposte animation for the martial arts, they kept the default animation where you just shove your fist inside their chest cavity
Peak Fromsoft laziness
@@somersaultinggiraffe1901 womp womp
@@somersaultinggiraffe1901 This needs to be called out a lot more often, and way more loudly. I swear, ... if gamers applied HALF of their unjustified hate for EA/Ubisoft and transformed it into justified criticism of Fromsoft laziness and incompetence, ... the world would be a better place.
@@smaller_cathedrals yeah, people love to act like Fromsoft is the greatest thing that's happened to the world, but the fact remains that their games have loads of mistakes that get shoved under because "hurr durr no microtransactions" i mean props to them for not making in game purchases, but that doesn't mean they can get away with lazy game design
@@somersaultinggiraffe1901lazy ? Have you avtually played elden ring? Lazy is the last thing ibwould call fromsoft 😂😂😂
Title says only martial arts but I clearly see him use throwing knifes therefore making the run invalid, I'm calling for an immediate reset
I've read enough manhua to know throwing knives count as martial arts
@@gg533Naruto they're always throwing kunai 24/7 too.
YOU ARE COURTING DEATH!!
@@gg533in that case knives, staffs and swords count too
@@xvpower The also throw meteors at eachother on Naruto
“Scadu” is the old English way to spell “shadow”. Skad-doo is more fun to say. But just for anyone who was wondering.
I was literally about to Google the meaning of Scadu lol
Thanks captain
I know it's still pronounced like "shadow" but tbh I'm still saying "skadoo" since it sounds cooler imo
The scadu fragments are actually called Scooby snacks
Skibidi tree as Elajjaz says.
Everyone knows they're Skibidi Fragments and that it's the Skibidi Tree.
Bro ends stream and immediately drops this hell yeah.
Just a question, why did you edit in another phrase to explain your wording instead of just changing what the message says
@shroomian2739 i kinda just was overthinking it. Your right though it does make more sense to do it your way.
Does he have plan to play Chained Together? I found him during Only Up era and the game is similar to it except you need friends
The transition to Loretta was great haha.
0:05 shadow of the aerdtree
Ærdtree
😂😂😂
air tree
I’m glad people are seeing how insane the palm strike AOW is. Unless you’re killing nothing is stopping it
If you get statused like bleed or cold it will also cancel it
LET'S GOO I HAVEN'T EVEN PLAYED THE DLC YET
Try stay as spoiler free as possible it's actually the best dlc
Marika dies
Spoiler: the tarnished dies a lot
No melina or GEQ answers too....
@@smegspreadermelina answers are there in messmers lore. Her and messmer are siblings of the first generation of demigods before even Godwyn. Siblings cursed like Malenia and Miquella as they are born from Marika and Radagon also. The abyssal serpent for Messmer and siblings that both have ties to the flame. Melina is the Gloam Eyed Queen and both her and Messmer have sealed eyes. This has huge lore implications as it means Radagon has been around longer than we realised as they most likely split in the same way Miquella split from St Trina. So yes this dlc confirmed ALOT about Melina. We already knew Melina was the GEQ from the Frenzy ending and wanting to return Destined Death to the lands, the dlc just confirms she broke her seal in that ending the same way Messmer broke his in the boss fight. Also if you go to Sharmans village (Marikas home) the incantation Minor Erdtree is stated to only be known by Marika, yet we see Melina using this exact spell in the fight against Morgott.
I love how quick Dist is to put out content like this, you're always ready with the challenge runs
Super stoked to see you're turning these runs into videos!
God I wish the the parry tear thing was a permanent game mechanic you could use. Obviously it couldn't be as strong then, it would be bonkers, but it's just so cool.
The Hoarah Loux fight was just two WARRIOOORs going at it, 11/10
martial art set is so unique and so fun, awesome vid!
Dude your Rellana was so fkn clean for her being a new boss. You’re cracked at the dlc already!!
I can't wait for all the content on the dlc just like this. The next months are going to be a blast
Not even gonna lie. The only way I’m making it through most bosses is with my mimic and +25 stone slab shield. I’m also at 11 scadutree blessing and 6 for my summons. For me the DLC is a challenge and I do think it’s hard but I’m not complaining. I’ve always had the impression that they’re meant to be hard. I had to learn to control my button presses and be very deliberate. I learned early on that you can’t be a button masher in souls games lol
nothing is hard in Elder Ring if you don't deliberately hinder yourself. Mimic still trivializes everything, even in the dlc.
The Bayle fight was seriously so sick.
Sadly it just ain't the same without my Hype man Igon there, that voice actor did not get paid enough...
@@luketfer don't worry. his fight with Yosh in the Summons run was a sight to behold 👀
CURSE YOU BAYLE
i’m working on a run like this too! i’m at radahn and i’ve gotten past the nuke but still haven’t beat him yet. good shit bro!
that "DIE" in 20:08, just before the final punch was epic!
This is my new favorite weapon in the entire souls series. There is some soooo satisfying with it
DLC was fun I beat most of it within the first two days, only really had trouble with the final boss which took me easily over 100 try’s to finally beat.
Awesome run as always Dist
i've been waiting for someone to do this
Fromsoft should really make those new weapon types available in the base game, It'd be so much fun to not having to go through that trading stuff and still change things up a bit.
Depends on the weapon, like if it's in the last area or the middle of a dungeon you might be screwed, but quite a lot of them you can get relatively early by beating radahn yourself, doing varre quest early + summoning or cheesing for Mohg and then grabbing the weapon
Damn didn’t you stream this a couple days ago? Crazy editing and upload speed, and a great video!
I really love the subtitles 😌 thank you
moore only shows up after you convince him that life is worth living/to put it all behind (ironic)
freyja shows up after giving her ansbach’s letter, which is fitting since they’ll both meet each other on the battlefield
thiolier would never join leda and so wouldn’t ansbach since they serve different masters respectively
so the easiest way to do leda’s fight is probably to not talk to moore/convince him to… erm…, help leda with hornsent or help hornsent then off him at rauh, and to not talk to freyja. that way, only leda and dane show up i think
I actually didn’t know convincing Moore to move forward was the trigger for him appearing in the fight. Last time I’m ever being nice to a Fromsoft npc 😭
first phase of rennala had me dying when you were throwing the daggers
that poise break on Mogh was clutch. Also Midra is my favourite fight
Just finished. Was beautiful.
2 uploads in ten days. We are blessed!
Thanks for cool video ^^
Would be nice to see how many fragments he has at what point in these videos ^^
The fight against Hoarah Loux was pure cinema
This is gonna be awesome
Challenge runs already..... lets gooooo
Funniest thing for me is, you can put blood affinity to them, meaning you can literally punch enemies so hard they'll spit blood.
going blue dancer's charm, godfrey's icon, shard of alexander, with pearldrake +3 while using rock heart (the dragon communion form) is a pretty good set up for damage
All those reforged mod play hours paid haaard off. I used deflect tear whole play through. Though with a shield. Did not expect it works so well with non-shields
Wish the backhand blindside attack was useable on unarmed, such a missed opportunity..
20:09 Absolute Cinema
Edit: Palm Blast was so good for NPCs (Except Leda and her allies just because)
48:56 Damn, didn't know that, but still will not replace the bird coast for rune farm fowl foot.
1:18:36 Okay, palm blast worked on those 3 but not the other allies that should never be included and would stay that way, unless fighting a fighter build and a tank is fun.
i wonder if the video cut at 1:13:14 while still matching the music perfectly was on purpose. There a few small little nice edits. Thanks a lot for the video, this was awesome.
Now I wanna see a Sekiro run in Elden Ring, with katanas and guard counters
Doing this right now, it's a blast. I find it easier to beat human size boss's/enemies. Everything big is just pure pain.
“Somebody probably died to a squirrel here” it was me. I was that somebody.
Have a feeling they're going to nerf that palm-blast skill ... awesome to see some new elden ring content!
Can you put a blessing counter when you do dlc runs?
Got my sub off the twin moon knight fight bro you literally literally did sum MUI goku shi😂❤
imagine being one of the bosses and see a dude come through your fogwall with just straight up fists and a smile on his face and then continues to absolutely F you up 🤣
Imagine having all kinds of crazy weapons and spells just for some dude to run at you giving you them hands!
Finally! An Elden Ring Video about Throwing Hands!
Erm excuse me
no hands were thrown they clearly stay on his body at all times
@@Bla_bla_bla939 Throwing Hands is an expression about punching.
@@kaizer-senpai2359 I was joking lol
@@Bla_bla_bla939 Yeah we're good,.. I just thought you didn't know what Throwing Hands means. 😀
@@kaizer-senpai2359 if all's cleared up than im happy
The closest thing we'll get to having the Bone Fist in Elden Ring. Still makes me really happy.
hey i wonder how did you get the full armor of the monke i did his quest and only got the hat hand weapon (hope i made myself clear i'm no fluent english)
Thank you for this run! You inspired me to create a new character and do something similar, in order to learn how to fight the bosses "properly".
BTW, did you also do Rykard and General Niall in the stream? Because I didn't see them in this video. Or did you skip them?
i used this on malenia and it was awesome. I infused it with cold and the frostbite was chef's kiss ❤
I desperately wanted to make Martial Arts work for the DLC Final Boss, but the lack of range and bleed buildup made it too depressing (and the L1 on my controller is broken so I couldn't even try using the Sekiro tear for safe guard counters), ended up getting it done with a Blood Twinblade.
Such a fun weapon though, I used Dryleaf Arts to beat literally everything else in the DLC as soon as I picked it up
Would be cool seeing a run as Consort Radfahn. Only using his weapons and armour
Smith script dagger would be a funny one
Choose your fighter!
Hoarang!
that dancing lion fight felt like some kind of knock off sekiro fight lmao
Reading the chat during the melania fight is something
nice bro!!! how to do guard counter without taking any damage ?
Now that Elden Ring has an hilariously hard DLC that gives you cool kungfu weapons it is officially Dark Souls 2 2
Honestly I’ve been using the martial arts only and it trivializes a lot of stuff. Very strong.
This weapon with bleed quality is so nutty.
28:34 love the cut from 10 deaths to 22 deaths ;)
I didn't see half these boss's moves because from post Rellana until just before final boss, I high-poise, high-vigor'd through everything with focus palm. Bosses absolutely fuckin melted.
The final boss was too overwhelming, so i switched to sekiro tear and learned him intimately
So i haven’t beaten all the dlc yet and explored every thing up to messmer, and he is by far the most fun boss i have fought so far. I have beaten bayle and the wierd knight thingy in the abyss to get to saint trina. Along with the dancing lion and renalla. Messmer is by far the best boss so far.
Gotta be a way to make a neo build with this
Those kicks remind me of High Monk
Do one of these videos for each new weapon type!
can you have one of each equipped to each hand or doesn't it work like that
I thought you were a small youtuber because this only has 300 views by the time I'm typing this, but then I saw this ish came out four minutes ago
Should’ve named the video “Fisting Elden Ring bosses”
Dryleaf Jump R2 is amazing
We went from running from malenia, to punching her in the face. The circle is now complete
I wish you could start the game with a Deflecting Tear talisman or something
ur voice is soothing you sound like ikeepittaco but smoother
What is that raven armor hes wearing in the later part of his run?
Cant wait for the po mod reskin for the main character
These weapons combined with the deflecting hardtear turn the game into Sifu
Does anyone know what the final build for this was?
9:00 i call this getting moongrum'd
Wait a minute... Gaius _is_ wearing his pants. The pants lied.
GG Dude!
Bro is throwing the Hands Between
Elden ring : the hands between
Does anyone know what the chest armour at 53:54 is called?
Martial arts is literally the best thing ever lemme tell ya
buying later whether base game is on the summer sale or not
How did you start a new character with the martial arts
Genuine question, but whats the general opinion about Gaius as a boss fight?
I thought he was one of the easiest bosses in the dlc, but i see a lot of comments in the chat saying how they hate him, was he that bad?
There is beating Elden Ring and then there is literally BEATING Elden Ring.
How much damage was lost going for cold with minimal Int?
Romina and Putrescent Knight, and Gaius to a lesser degree just don't let melee punish them.
